Delia, oh Delia, Delia all my life.
If I hadn`t a-shot poor Delia, I`d have had her for my wife.
Delia`s gone, one more round Delia`s gone.
1. I went up to Memphis,and I met Delia there.
Found her in her parlor,and I tied her to her chair.
R: Delia`s gone, one more round, Delia`s gone.
2. She was low-down and travellin` and she was cold and mean.
Kind of evil make me want to grab my sub-machine.
R: Delia`s gone...
3. First time I shot her,I shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died.
R: Delia`s gone...
4. But jailer, oh jailer, jailer I can`t sleep.
`Coz all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia`s feet.
R: Delia`s gone...
5. So if your woman`s devilish, you can let her run.
Or you can bring her down and do her like Delia got done.
R: Delia...(2x),konec
